7.8/10

I had a really nice stay at this hotel, with the beach just a short walk away and no crowds to deal with. The rooms were modern and spacious, making for a comfortable retreat. However, while the dining options were decent, I felt they could be improved for a more satisfying experience. Overall, I found good value for money, though our room's air conditioning could have been a bit stronger.
